PITTSBURGH -- Mike Mitchell plans to play the Cleveland Browns when the Pittsburgh Steelers open the season on Sept. 10.
He said so on Tuesday after the Steelers' final full practice of the preseason. Mitchell missed all of team practice at training camp from July 30 onward in Latrobe, where he was seen with the upper-left part of his leg wrapped.
The first-string safety hasn't played in any of the Steelers' first three preseason games and noted it would be arrogant to assume he could jump back into playing without any football practice. He's doing more in his rehab work each day, he said, but refuses to repeat past errors of practicing and playing hurt.
"You can't just continue to make the same mistakes. I did this thing with a worse injury my first year and at the end of the day no one gives a damn, you know, if you're hurt and you go out there and play they're only going to judge you by how you play," Mitchell said. "So I'm taking my time and making sure that I'm right."
